I used to visit the Daily Pint back in the day when I was a student at SMC. I am glad to report this is still a great spot to hang out, whether in a group, on a date night, with girls on a night out, or even if you want to catch a drink by yourself. People are friendly and down-to-earth here. You can dress up or down; you will be welcome here no matter what and no matter where you are from. Easy street parking. They have non-alcoholic beer! read more

Great people, great variety of beer, incredible variety of whiskey, and a comically clean bathroom. Seriously, you go into the bathroom thinking you're going to have to hold your breath, and it is truly industrially clean. read more

Always negative service, bartenders with short temper and unwillingness to help customers when they are new. I personally have been here multiple times with different bartenders, today my friend order me a stout not knowing if i like a stout. I kindly ask Geo ( bartender ) if he could change it for a lager, to which he very kindly and respectfully proceeded to replace it, when Many (Manager) was leaving the bar, Geo asked if it was okay, Many said no, i can refund him, "his homie order it" I had never asked for a refund. Homie? I said, I have a friend here not a homie that's very disrespectful for him to say, maybe thats how he refers to his friends but not me. He has no right to call my friend a homie. After all I asked for the stout back so my friend can enjoy it himself. Very disrespectful every single time, if you're not a local, or a regular they treat you like nothing. read more

My favourite pub in Santa Monica. We were made to feel very welcome and the Craft Beers were great - Perfect for a couple from the U.K. read more

A mixed bag. Sometimes great... other times terrible. Same for the crowd. Either way, staff are never friendly.

Stopped by for some Sunday football, very chill Sunday, the draft list is okay. The price wasn't bad either.

MAGGIE IS THE BEST EVER!!! incredible service from Maggie. Great vibes but the AC is broken and it is so hot in here. Not good conditions to ask someone to work in. Owners need to fix & give Maggie a raise. read more

I can't express how great bartender maggie was! She was attentive and sweet to our group. The vibes of the bar are great and super chill. The beef jerky was phenomenal. Although I must mention, a/c would be an amazing addition to this (not-super) cool spot lol read more

Have drinks at a local bar. It's always quiet and chill. Everybody in the bar is so cool.

The Daily Pint is a legend amongst us denizens of West Los Angeles and Santa Monica. They have the largest selection of whiskeys and beers in the area. Highly recommended. read more

An old friend once described The Daily Pint to me as "kind of a dive bar" which I'm sure you'll find to be apt once you step inside and start nursing a drink. There are pool tables and TVs playing sports games, sure, but what really makes this neighborhood haunt stand out is the impressive whiskey selection. (Unfortunately, the whiskey here isn't accompanied by dive bar prices but hey, you'll be able to order your poison of choice neat or on the rocks without walking around on sticky floors.) If you get hungry after happy hour here, walk across the street and hit up the hot bar at Whole Foods 365. Because "kind of dive bars" can still be walking distance from chicken wings. (Just don't follow my friend's example and eat them in line before you've actually paid for them.) read more

One dollar pool, a great draft list, and excellent service. What more can you ask for?

I visit the daily pint all the time and I must say that Gio went above and beyond to ensure that my experience was nothing short of amazing. His attention and friendly demeanor truly stood out at making my time at the daily pint memorable one. read more

New owners still haven't opened the doors. Everything was perfect, then it sold, and they closed the doors painted it royal blue and haven't opened. I've owned multiple bars and in a situation like this they're either gonna gentrify it and make a nightmare or open the doors. It's a choice to not just take the keys and stay open. Hopefully they don't ruin our local gem like lost and found got done. It's pitiful. Everyday we Lose a dive in la and it pains me (and all of us) to see something like the pint possibly lose it's footing. To the owners: we don't need another cocktail kook bar we just want our bar back. Don't try to make it something it's not you will fail. Long live the pint we are waiting on y'all. I will happily change this to a 5 star review when I stop hearing excuses. read more

Danielle is the sweetest bartender I have ever come across!!! I have been a loyal Patron of hers for 8 years and I follow her wherever she ends up!!! She is amazing Alley read more

Great place except they really gouge you on bourbon prices. They charge $62 a shot for (WSR)Weller special reserve that retails for $25 a bottle. $125 for (GTS) George T Stagg which retails for $99 a bottle. The mark up is ridiculous and who knows how long those bottles have been opened at those prices. After six months of being opened that bottle should be sold or put into retirement. I better see the bottle being opened at these prices. But The downside is a neck pour. Anyway Daily pint lower the prices and maybe you will actually start selling the whiskey instead of collecting dust on all those bottles. It's pays to look around at local competitors prices. But honestly it's a great "collection" of undrinkable whiskeys at those prices. read more

Nice little pub with good layout. Bar centred and service both sides. Comfortable ,chilled atmosphere. Like it! Somewhat of a British pub image but looks more American to me with the exposed brickwork and only American sports on the tv. The bathrooms are dazzling! You have to see the bathrooms. One star taken off for prices. Way too expensive for a British or American pub! I guess they need to pay for the interstellar bathroom but you certainly won't be getting drunk here at those prices. None the less I'll definitely return. read more

Used to come here years ago when I went to SMC in 2018 and 2019. Loved the beer and whiskey selection especially as I was recently 21/22 and wanted to try new things at my local spot. Post covid I was very excited to hear the Daily Pint was open again with a sleek new face-lift. I revisited on a Sunday night to reminisce only to be presented with a very strange interaction As I was waiting to order a beer, a very drunk bartender greeted me and asked for my ID. I presented it to her to which she immediately called it fake. I am 26, balding, and have a full beard. I simply reply that it is not, to which the bartender threatens to cut my real california ID. Not wanting to argue in fear of losing my driver's license I left. I'd like to return to one of the first dives I ever fell in love with but I cannot return because I need my driver's license. read more

Matthew was kind at first but as the night went on it got progressively worse, he was drinking on the job and literally threw the drink at my friend and got mouthy with other customers. Asked for last call at 1:30. He got super aggressive and we weren't bad customers. Ordered 3 ultras and 3 lemon drop shots within 3 hours. As a bartender I know last call is within 5 mins of closing and he refused everyone drinks at 1:30. read more

This place is a g*damn gold mine. Now, I'm not a huge beer guy but I do like some diversity. A Irish Amber Ale sometimes, or an actual German Pilsner. A small batch local IPA or a seasonal Bavarian Märzen. All here, and good choices. But really, the prize here is the whiskey selection. Lots and lots of accessible scotch, bourbons and Irish whiskeys. It's actually kind of beautiful. read more

The Daily Pint - Whiskey, whiskey and whiskey. - Sports Bars Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Used to be a regular when Phil owned it. Went last night and ordered a St. Bernardis 12. Was $12 and menu said it was in a tulip. I was served a glass of 3/4 foam in a stout glass. Clearly: 1) The beverage line was not set up properly for this high carbonation beer resulting in a high degree of foaming. 2) The server didn't know that it was not acceptable to serve a glass that was 3/4 foam 3) That this beer should have been served in a Chalice, which they had, or at the very least, the tulip that was listed on the board. All in all, it was so bad I had to give it back and get an IPA, which they managed to do a better job of serving. Overall, pretty disappointing. If you're going to be a beer bar, then you should properly store and serve your beer, and you should train your bartenders, so they have some clue of what they are doing. To be blunt, this would not have happened at Fathers Office. read more

Beer & Whiskey! Not that I'm an alcoholic, but I'm a fan of venues where people can come together, and just have a good time. Whether it's a bar, or not - it's one of the reasons for living. Or it should be. To just be with others, with not a care in the world, except, maybe, what to drink. For me, I didn't see food, but I heard someone mention that you have to order takeout from nearby establishments. There are two pool tables, a shuffle board, a foosball table and a big screen TV. Not much else needed. Well, except beer and Whiskey. And this place has a lot of that on hand. The whiskey collection is insane. It's like the afterworld for alcoholics. There's one wall, from floor to ceiling, of nothing but bottles and bottles. Bourbon, Scotch, Beer, Casked Beer - name it - I believe they had it. As for the service, my interaction with one of the bartenders was fine. There was a female bartender, who we didn't interact with, but she was friendly enough from what I could see. It's a fun place. Loud though so don't go expecting to have nice intimate conversations. Lots of parking across the street at the park as well as on the street. Read the signs though. read more

The Daily Pint - Nightcap: Stone's Russial Imperial Stout w/cinnamons & cherries - Sports Bars Near Me - Santa Monica, California

This was a while ago, but this bar experience was among my favorites. I'm not a huge drinker, so me ending up a bar known for basically being a drinking bar was a questionable call. It's called the daily pint, and after seeing observing some of the orders, it should probably be called the daily fifth. Jokes aside, my buddy recommends this place, as he was supposed to meet an old friend there, and my brother and I would just crash the bro date. We show up, and immediately I'm like trying to get a bud light but being shamed into getting a not bud light. I don't know what I got, as all non bud light beers are just not good to me, but the glass was huge. Imagine what you think is a huge glass, and then 2x it. It was that big. I wasn't particularly mad about it, but I was certainly surprised. We wait for my buddy's friend to show up but he never does - I guess no one is safe from ghosting. RIP, hang in there Rich. We get to chopping with the bartender. She is 11/10 chill AF. A straight chiller. Really just absolutely ice cold in the department for how chill she was. We tell he we hail from the Bay, and so all of the sudden she's got a bunch of songs about San Francisco playing. I'm only cultured on like 2000's emo and 80's hair metal, so I'm just playing along, but my cultured buddy seems to be picking up what she was putting down. Still wondering why anyone would write a song about SF. My buddy then does like a straight whiskey flight. As far as flights are concerned, this is transatlantic, because he is sending it for a good time and a long time. He must have had like 10 different whiskeys, and I'm like just cruising on this mega beer. My interest is piqued on the whiskey happenings, as I had hair on my chest once (it was like 3, but I shaved them, it's embarrassing). They (my buddy and the bartender) get talking about what my buddy is gonna buy me. They choose like a $40 scotch, and I'm like "I am not worth $40, give me 2 bud lights and that's the end of this conversation." I get my 2 bud lights, another bartender shows up, we chop, and probably an hour went by of 5 people talking about nothing; it was awesome. I have no idea how long we stayed, but judging by the size of the beers, it was definitely at least 4 years. I would say if you're looking for a chill spot to have 1-47 drinks, you've found it, and if you like whiskey, they've got about 200 to choose from. read more

They say this place is closed I haven't been for a while so I don't know. Great bar huge selection of scotch, Great place for scotch tasting and trying different varieties. I once drank so much scotch here I challenged Michael Flatley Lord of the dance to a dance off over e-mail! He never responded probably scared. read more

Great dive bar feel, but -1 Star for the non-dive bar prices, except the Weihenstaphaner beer on tap, that comes in an extra large tall draft glass! You can play pool, watch sports, and still talk in a dark dive bar setting. Lots of whiskey / scotch selections, too! I wish one day they would do a whiskey tasting, because it's basically way too costly to try more than a few whiskeys in a night there, so be wary of how quickly drinks add up! read more

Very interesting spot. I've been twice alone. I think it would be more fun with friends. It's a total local spot though and they know it. The bartenders recognize you treat you accordingly. If you don't know much about beer or whisky come in meekly and ask for advice. You may still get a sharp response, but be persistant and gentle and you'll end up with a wonderful beverage. The whisky is by far the most impressive selection I've ever seen, they also have some fantastic craft beers. Game tables are also in the side room which makes it a good male bonding place. read more

The Daily Pint ...going up, on a TUESDAY (in my best Makonnen voice) It was packed this past Tuesday night! I sat at the bar, waiting for my friend and observed the variety of people hanging out... group of 5-6 friends (guys & girls) Tindering behind me, an older gentleman left after having a drink at the bar alone, several couples there having a drink, games going on at the pool tables... it was going up at The Daily Pint.... on a Tuesday! Quite the impressive selection of whiskey here, but I ordered Tito's and soda... Bartender was nice, he asked and made sure to know my preference of fruitage to accompany my beverage -I appreciated that. I acknowledge the little things. That's what makes places GREAT in my eyes. I'd go back here again for a divey, dark, and casual spot to hang for a drank, after work. read more

I have been at TDP many times, and I generally think it is a great bar for whisky. But they have a serious problem with their beer tap system lately, which I suspect is not being rigorously cleaned as it should. I was there last tuesday afternoon, and all of the beer I had was completely musty and ruined. These are beers I am familiar with and have had recently at other locations, tasting perfectly fine. There's no point in pouring Blind Pig if it's going to pour tasting like TD Joe's six month old non-refrigerated Mission St. Also, and more worryingly, the bartender woman gave me a fairly unjustifiable attitude. They were pouring IPAs in those open belgian chalice glasses, and I asked if she could pour my beer in a tulip or snifter instead. She said no and asked me why I wanted that. I said I thought tulips are good retaining hop aroma, and are also easier to swirl, and she said "I work in beer and I think you're buying into some bs". I understand if they have a pouring policy, but to respond in that way is plain rude and actually remarkably hypocritical when she is pouring beer in that state. If she 'works in beer' she would know that what was coming from those taps was unjustifiable. Frankly, very disappointing. read more

A typical dive-y bar with a large selection of pretty much everything. A couple of pool tables and cramped seating. YAY! Drinks are reasonably priced at around $10-$12. I got the Red and White Wietbier. They also have a selection of whiskeys. It gets extremely loud so get your voices prepped and your ears wide open so you can communicate with your buddies. The place gets extremely packed so it's a bit annoying but I guess that's a sign of a poppin' bar. Not sure if I'd prefer to come back again but definitely has it's charm if the dive bar scene is what you are looking for. read more
